Playtest Atomic Picnic April 10-17!

Hello Loners! We’re running our next public playtest of Atomic Picnic next week, April 10-17.

You can get in to the test starting Wednesday, April 10, by joining our community at OTK.to/AP. On Friday, April 13, it will open up to everyone right on our Steam page. You can play through the 17th, we’ll turn things off first thing on the morning of the 18th.


Here’s a breakdown of everything new in this playtest:
  • The Loner’s Camp: A new hub and lobby where you can pick your character and loadout, and get some practice on the firing range and platforming course.

  • A new map: Twilight Dan is our second map, tighter and more frenetic than the first.

  • Discoveries & progression system: You’ll start this playtest with one character, one weapon, and one device. Unlock more via challenges we’ve dubbed “Discoveries”.

  • New mini-boss and enemy: Our new mini-boss, “Wilson”, and new enemy mobs known as “Berserkers” can be encountered on both maps.

  • Seven new upgrades:
    1. Bible - Bring down an orbital strike surrounding your character.
    2. Static Dash - Use of Air Gear charges up the damage of your next attack.
    3. Empowered Shot - Boost bullet damage on successful active reload.
    4. Shockwave - Area of effect damage on landing after using Air Gear
    5. Dash Shot - Fire a bullet when using Air Gear to dash.
    6. Projectile Pattern on Device - Alters the pattern of your device’s impact.
    7. Absorb - Damage taken while using Air Gear heals your character.
  • Assorted fixes and optimizations: Bugs squashed, graphics optimizations, UI tweaks, an upgrade re-roll feature, and much more.

Your feedback is super helpful as we continue to work on the game. After you play, please hit us up on Discord to tell us what you think.

Thank you, and see you in the Wasteland!
